Leaders of Metro Nashville Public Schools learned their lesson about venues during the inaugural First Choice Festival.

Last year, they tried to fit more than 5,000 people into McGavock High School's gym. They'd expected only 2,000 to show up at the event, which is geared toward putting parents and students together with representatives of nearly every public school in the district.
